Your company uses System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to monitor compliance.
The company has a configuration baseline for each server that has the Web Server (IIS) server role
installed.
A new corporate policy specifies that the maximum TCP window size for all of the Web servers must
be 131,072 bytes.
You discover that the TCP window size is set in the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
\MaxBytesPerSend
You need to generate an error message for all of the Web servers that do NOT comply with the
corporate policy.
What should you do?

A.
Add a new configuration item that has a registry value setting type to the configuration baseline.

B.
Create a query-based collection that contains all of the Web servers, and then initiate an
inventory collection.

C.
Create a query that returns a list of all the Web servers, and then search the query results for the
registry value.

D.
Add a new configuration item that has an Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase setting
type to the configuration baseline.

Introduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager
Compliance settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides a unified interface and
user experience that lets you manage the configuration and compliance of servers, laptops, desktop
computers, and mobile devices in your organization. Compliance settings contains tools to help you
assess the compliance of users and client devices for many configurations, such as whether the
correct Windows operating system versions are installed and configured appropriately, whether all
required applications are installed and configured correctly, whether optional applications are
configured appropriately, and whether prohibited applications are installed. Additionally, you can
check for compliance with software updates, security settings, and mobile devices. Configuration
item settings of the type Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), registry, script, and all
mobile device settings in Configuration Manager let you automatically remediate noncompliant
settings when they are found.
Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items
that you want to evaluate and settings and rules that describe the level of compliance you must
have. You can import this configuration data from the web in Microsoft System Center Configuration
Manager Configuration Packs as best practices that are defined by Microsoft and other vendors, in
Configuration Manager, and that you then import into Configuration Manager. Or, an administrative
user can create new configuration items and configuration baselines.

whether the application is installed and details about its configuration.
Operating system configuration item
Used to determine compliance for settings that relate to the operating system and its configuration.
Software updates configuration item
Automatically created when you download software updates with Configuration Manager.
You do not create or see these configuration items in the Compliance Settings node, but you can
select them when you define configuration baselines.
General configuration item Used to determine compliance for mobile devices.
